제사장 여호야다의 개혁
23 아달랴가 나라를 다스린 지 7년째가 되는 해에 제사장 여호야다는 용기 를 내어 몇몇 군 지휘관들과 뜻을 같이하기로 맹세했는데 이들은 여로함의 아들 아사랴, 여호하난의 아들 이스마엘, 오벳의 아들 아사랴, 아다야의 아들 마아세야, 그리고 시그리의 아들 엘리사밧이었다.
2 이 사람들은 유다의 모든 성을 두루 다니면서 레위 사람들과 이스라엘 족장들을 몰래 예루살렘으로 불러모았다.
3 그들은 모두 성전에 모여 왕자 요아스에게 충성할 것을 다짐하였다. 그때 여호야다가 그들에게 이렇게 말하였다. “여호와께서 다윗의 후손에 대하여 약속하신 대로 이제 왕자가 나라를 다스릴 때가 되었습니다!
4 앞으로 여러분은 이렇게 하십시오. 제사장과 레위 사람 여러분이 안식일에 직무를 수행하러 오면 3분의 은 성전 문을 지키고
5 또 3분의 은 왕궁을, 나머지 3분의 은 기초문을 지키고 그 밖의 모든 사람들은 성전 뜰에 모이도록 하십시오.
6 직무중에 있는 제사장과 레위 사람 외에는 아무도 성전 안에 들어오지 못합니다. 이들은 거룩하기 때문에 들어올 수 있지만 나머지 사람들은 여호와의 명령대로 성전에 들어와서는 안 됩니다.
7 레위 사람 여러분은 손에 무기를 들고 왕을 경호하며 왕이 어디로 가든지 그를 호위하고 아무나 함부로 성전에 들어오는 자가 있으면 죽이십시오.”
8 레위 사람과 유다 백성들은 제사장 여호야다의 지시에 그대로 따랐다. 안식일에 비번인 사람들도 집으로 돌려보내지 않았기 때문에 지휘관들은 비번인 사람과 비번이 아닌 사람들을 다 함께 거느리고 있었다.
9 제사장 여호야다는 성전 안에 보관되어 있던 다윗왕의 창과 방패를 지휘관들에게 주고
10 또 무장한 사람들을 성전 주변에 빈틈없이 배치하여 왕을 경호하도록 하였다.
11 그런 다음 여호야다는 어린 왕자를 인도해 내고 그에게 왕관을 씌우며 율법책을 주어 그를 왕으로 선포하였다. 제사장 여호야다와 그의 아들이 그에게 기름을 붓자 백성들은 왕의 만세를 외쳤다.
12 아달랴는 백성들이 왁자지껄하게 떠들어대며 왕을 치하하는 소리를 듣고 군중이 모여 있는 성전으로 달려가 보았다.
13 그랬더니 새 왕이 성전 문 기둥 곁에 섰고 군 지휘관들과 나팔수들이 그의 주변에 둘러섰으며 백성들은 즐거워서 소리를 지르고 나팔수들이 나팔을 불며 성가대원들은 악기를 연주하면서 찬송을 인도하고 있었다. 이 광경을 지켜 보고 있던 아달랴는 자기 옷을 찢으며 “반역이다! 반역이다!” 하고 외쳤다.
14 제사장 여호야다는 그녀를 성전에서 죽이고 싶지 않아 군 지휘관들에게 “저 여자를 밖으로 끌어내고 그녀를 따르는 자는 누구든지 죽이시오” 하였다.
15 군중들이 길을 열어 주자 그들은 아달랴를 잡아 궁전까지 끌고 가 말들이 출입하는 문 입구에서 그녀를 죽였다.
16 그런 다음 여호야다는 자기와 백성과 왕 사이에 계약을 맺고 모두 여호와의 백성이 될 것을 다짐하였다.
17 그러고서 그들은 모두 바알 신전으로 달려가서 그 신전을 헐고 단과 우상들을 때려 부수며 그 단 앞에서 바알의 제사장 맛단을 죽였다.
18 여호야다는 제사장들과 레위 사람들을 세워 성전 업무를 수행하도록 했는데 그들은 다윗왕이 지시한 대로 모세의 법에 따라 여호와께 바쳐진 제물을 불로 태워 번제를 드리고 또 즐거워하며 노래하는 일을 맡은 자들이었다.
19 여호야다는 또 성전 문지기를 세워 부정한 자는 누구든지 성전에 들어오지 못하게 하였다.
20 군 지휘관들과 귀족들과 백성의 지도자들과 모든 백성이 왕을 성전에서 모셔내어 윗문을 통해 궁전으로 들어가 그를 왕좌에 앉혔다.
21 그러자 모든 백성들은 기뻐하였고 성 안은 평온을 되찾았다. 이것은 아달랴가 죽음을 당하였기 때문이었다.
2 Chronicles 23
New King James Version
Joash Crowned King of Judah(A)
23 In (B)the seventh year (C)Jehoiada strengthened himself, and made a covenant with the captains of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of (D)Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri. 2 And they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the (E)chief fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, “Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord has (F)said of the sons of David. 4 This is what you shall do: One-third of you (G)entering on the Sabbath, of the priests and the Levites, shall be keeping watch over the doors; 5 one-third shall be at the king’s house; and one-third at the Gate of the Foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord. 6 But let no one come into the house of the Lord except the priests and (H)those of the Levites who serve. They may go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch of the Lord. 7 And the Levites shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes into the house, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed (I)the divisions. 9 And Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and the large and small (J)shields which had belonged to King David, that were in the temple of God. 10 Then he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and by the temple, all around the king. 11 And they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, (K)gave him the [a]Testimony, and made him king. Then Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, “Long live the king!”
Death of Athaliah(L)
12 Now when (M)Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the temple of the Lord. 13 When she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with musical instruments, and (N)those who led in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, (O)“Treason! Treason!”
14 And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Take her outside under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not kill her in the house of the Lord.”
15 So they seized her; and she went by way of the entrance (P)of the Horse Gate into the king’s house, and they killed her there.
16 Then Jehoiada made a (Q)covenant between himself, the people, and the king, that they should be the Lord’s people. 17 And all the people went to the [b]temple of Baal, and tore it down. They broke in pieces its altars and images, and (R)killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight of the house of the Lord to the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had (S)assigned in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the (T)Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was established by David. 19 And he set the (U)gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that no one who was in any way unclean should enter.
20 (V)Then he took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the Lord; and they went through the Upper Gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom. 21 So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

English Standard Version
Joash Made King
23 (A)But in the seventh year Jehoiada took courage and entered into a covenant with the commanders of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri. 2 And they went about through (B)Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers' houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. 3 And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And Jehoiada[a] said to them, “Behold, the king's son! Let him reign, (C)as the Lord spoke concerning the sons of David. 4 This is the thing that you shall do: (D)of you priests and Levites who come off duty on the Sabbath, one third shall be gatekeepers, 5 and one third shall be at the king's house and one third at the Gate of the Foundation. And all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord. 6 Let no one enter the house of the Lord except the priests (E)and ministering Levites. They may enter, for they are holy, but all the people shall keep the charge of the Lord. 7 The Levites shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand. And whoever enters the house shall be put to death. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
8 The Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and they each brought his men, who were to go off duty on the Sabbath, with those who were to come on duty on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss (F)the divisions. 9 And Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains the spears and the large and small shields that had been King David's, which were in the house of God. 10 And he set all the people as a guard for the king, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the south side of the house to the north side of the house, around the altar and the house. 11 Then they brought out the king's son and put the crown on him and gave him (G)the testimony. And they proclaimed him king, and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, (H)“Long live the king.”
Athaliah Executed
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she went into the house of the Lord to the people. 13 And when she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpeters beside the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and the singers with their musical instruments leading in the celebration. And Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!” 14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains who were set over the army, saying to them, “Bring her out between the ranks, and anyone who follows her is to be put to death with the sword.” For the priest said, “Do not put her to death in the house of the Lord.” 15 So they laid hands on her,[b] and she went into the entrance of (I)the horse gate of the king's house, and they put her to death there.
Jehoiada's Reforms
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king that they should be the Lord's people. 17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces, (J)and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 18 And Jehoiada posted watchmen for the house of the Lord under the direction of (K)the Levitical priests and the Levites (L)whom David had organized to be in charge of the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, (M)as it is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, (N)according to the order of David. 19 He stationed (O)the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the Lord so that no one should enter who was in any way unclean. 20 And he took the captains, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, marching (P)through the upper gate to the king's house. And they set the king on the royal throne. 21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been put to death with the sword.
